 Can I actually rant about Walmart for a second? Is this how we started? Is this part of this? Yes, yes. Do it. OK, OK, yes. So I went to Walmart today to get a frame for the merchandise, which I'll show off in a bit. And while I was there, I checked the toy aisle just to see if they got any neat FNAF stuff. And to my shock, they actually have a lot of poppy playtime merchandise. Really? Including including that lunchbox you posted. Yes. Yes. I was hoping you didn't get there. I did not buy it, though. OK, yeah. But I need to see this lunchbox. I will. I'll go get it. And then I'll tell you my story after Johnny's is over. And it'll it'll it'll explain. Keep going, though. But what I did pick up was I'll show it off on my camera were the the action figures of Huggy, Kissy and Mommy. OK. And I usually, nowadays, I'm not, like, embarrassed if I, like, go to GameStop and I get some FNAF merchandise because I just don't care. But in this specific scenario, the the self-checkout I went to couldn't register what items these were. And I had to have an assistant come over and manually type in like Poppy, Huggy, Action Figure and Poppy, Kissy. It was so awkward and I was just standing there. It was so bad. That sucks. What's your what? What's your story? Oh, it's it is the story for Ozone, because you mentioned that that lunchbox. Basically, I went to frickin. I went to the mall yesterday and got a pretty cool FNAF haul, which I'll talk about in a second, Ozone. But I went to Walmart afterwards and I saw something that I thought I just had to get. I didn't get it, though, for a reason I'll get to. But I'll just show you this image if you look in chat. You're going to have to bleep a bit of this out if you want to show this, but I'm going to say the full thing just because it's funny. I post this image and I says, who's pulling up to VidCon with the Poppy Playtime lunchbox? Does anybody actually buy that? Like, it's OK. There's want to know who buys that. There's one reason I didn't and it's 30 bucks. Oh, my God, I would have bought this for the bit if it was not 30 fricking dollars. It's not worth it. And the only interesting thing about it is that that cover, it's like not holographic, but it like switches depending on the angle. I forget what it's called. What's that? Yeah, I don't remember what that's called either. I am so upset that I don't live in the US. We don't have like Walmart or anything. Would you buy that? I've I've. Huh? Would you buy the lunchbox? Is that why you want to go to Walmart? Oh, no, no, no, I'm not after the lunchbox. I've never seen FNAF merch in a store, though. Really? How does big Walmart not just dominate the UK? How is that not a thing? They got like Tesco. Oh, shut up. Go to Tesco. I actually shop at Stain's Breeze. Oh, Stain's Breeze. Stain's Breeze on a Tuesday. But yeah, I've never really seen FNAF merch before, which is sad because I wanted one of those stupid t-shirts from Hot Topic. Oh, you know, you know, the one with the six Fridays on it. I'm not like, oh, and Balloon Freddy. Yeah, oh, it was so good, dude. Isn't that like Tidey Springtrap plush exclusive to the UK and just hasn't made it to the US yet? Am I wrong about that? It's exclusive to Walmart, so I don't think so. I could have sworn someone had told me last that it was not in the US yet for some reason, because I never found it. I have an exclusive to Walmart. Yes. Yeah. How is it in the UK then? I don't know. You have to have Walmart in the UK. You can't tell me you don't have Walmart somewhere. I've never seen a Walmart so big. It has to be international, or are we just like heathens with Walmart everywhere in the US? Is it just an American thing? I can look it up. Come to think of it, I didn't see a Walmart when I went to Germany, so maybe it is. There is a Walmart in the UK. Oh, I'm imagining you're saying just a Walmart. The singular UK Walmart. It's a subsidiary. You guys have Ikea. Yeah, we love Ikea. OK, OK, good. Otherwise, you'd be missing out. Yeah, no, Ikea is amazing. The kings of Ikea and Home Depot, they're great. They don't compete with each other. It's like the two group beer companies. I forget what they're called, but it's mug and some other. They're kings. They don't try to compete. They just live their life. No competition. Is it is it mug and A&W? I think so. OK. Dude, I will. I will briefly show off the hall on camera. You won't be able to see it. That just the brief hall went to, I guess. I guess so I guess these guys are officially out by now. But we got the we got the balloon, Freddie and Foxy key chains. They look so cute. I'll never open them. We got we got some of the minis, which I got the white boy. Look at him. He's so freaking blurry. Why won't you focus that camera? Yeah, we got the white boy. Hey, I fixed it this time. You know, some of the cute little minis, Circus, Freddie, Chica, she looks great. But the coolest thing that I didn't even know existed. I got a bio world key chain. What's it look like? Like a brand new FNAF bio world key chain. It is a pizza slice and a little Freddie Fazbear's pizza logo. Oh, when I went to box lunch, Bio World had this key chain and a sticker. That's all that they had like newly released. So sad. Oh, my God, almost dropped it on. Sorry. Yeah. So that's the hall. I can show off my hall quick. Yeah, give us give us your hall and show me that secret. I have nothing to show. Hey, I literally have nothing. Actually, very quickly, the tweet I pulled up of yours, Ozone, was you holding it. I don't even know what this is, but it's a face of circus baby. And the caption is me when this is pretty much the only FNAF merchandise I own. Is that true? Can you show us? I thought you had a long day. I'll post the picture. I could go and get it. It's it's I technically don't even own it. It's my brothers. What is that? OK. So it's like it's a cushion, right? Cushion pillow, whatever you call it. Yeah, and it's got like these mini ball things in it. And it's got like the FNAF faces on them. Those bunny ears. Yeah. Why? It's I don't know what's going on, but it's like the only FNAF stuff we have in the house. Where did you get this? I don't know. It must have been like an I don't know. Just it just showed up in your house one night. Yeah, it's a C-bonnie, but like egg, egg baby. Or egg baby. It's egg baby. They're true form. That's dang it. I got the 13 and a half inch Freddy figure. I did put them right where I said I'd put them on my desk. The discord stream was cool. You showed him off. He was pretty sick. Those look so cool. They do. I do love the movable jaw. I said I wouldn't open one of those if I got it and I probably still wouldn't, but man, those do look sick. He's really cool. I also got a golden Freddy. I'd open him. You guys aren't going to be able to see this, but my my toy hex plushies came in and toy Bonnie looks a bit goofy. Right. How do they look? I will say not to disc doco or anyone at hex. They're wonderful people, but I do think there's a bit of a downgrade in quality. Unfortunate, unfortunate. Yeah, the the ears. I think this is just because of the packaging, but they're pretty sticking up all over the place. His his mouth is going back quite a bit. He's got some serious dimples. Toy actually not toy balloon boy actually looks pretty good. He's a chunky boy. His propeller balloon stick look technically spins, but it doesn't spin good. Oh, there goes his head. I just fell off. The balloons very heavy. It weighs it down a lot. Dang, luckily mine. Mine did come with the balloon sign, which I've heard a lot of people say their balloon boy didn't. What? How can it? I don't know. Honestly, oh, it's just missing. The packaging was all over the place, by the way. Sometimes they would come in the bag, not in any casing. Sometimes it was bubble wrap. Sometimes it was just a clear bag. So packaging is all over the place. That's not good. Toy Freddy looks pretty good. He's very soft. He's like a teddy bear. Who's your favorite of the four? Probably Toy Freddy. OK, I will say when I saw this package on my porch, I was like, oh, sweet, my Freddy Fazbear pillow pet came in. And then when I found out it was hex, I was a little disappointed. Because it wasn't the pillow pet. Lastly is Toy Chica, and she is, for some reason, massive compared to everyone else. What? Is there a definitive size difference? I think before these guys released, I had made a tweet talked about how they should increase the size of the buttons. And it looks like they did that maybe slightly. But I think their version of fixing the buttons was just make the plushies bigger. But it's only Toy Chica. It's only Toy Chica. What the frick? Her bib does come with a ribbon at the back. You can tie into a bow. I haven't done that yet. That's pretty cute. But overall, Hexwave 2 is all over the place. Just being brutally honest. I wish them the best of luck with the fanverse because if they mess up, my poop goes, I swear. That would suck, yeah. Hey, Johnny, how much do you reckon you've spent on FNAF merch? You know, I've been meaning to calculate that for a very, very long time. I saw like recently, I don't know how recently it was. I can't remember, but you made a video that was like a tour of my room. Here's all my merch and stuff like that. And I was like, hmm, a cool video idea would be going through that video and adding up all the prices to see how much you've spent because it's so it must be so much. I will say ever since that video and while I was like reorganizing everything, I did make a checklist of every single product. So I could figure that out probably. Every single product you have or that I have. OK, I wonder how how much you have spent would combat how much I have spent because I don't have as much diversity as you and everything. And I haven't picked up everything in the last five years. But, dude, I import so much into minis. Yeah, that'd be your driving factor. That would be where most of the money comes from, because, dude, jumpscare circus babies like 300. Did you buy her for that? No, you just have her for that. Are you actually selling? I will not disclose. I can sit on gold and let it let it earn. Diamond hands. Yes. All right. How about I show off that merchandise that I've been hyping up now? Yeah, about time. Yeah. So a little bit ago, I was on eBay just just browsing because sometimes I just like browsing. And I came across this poster from 2016. I'll show it off on camera. OK. It is from Just Toys. Oh, this is it. You feel convinced I'm not going to know what this is. You might. But I think even if you do, it's still very hype and it's it's really, really cool. OK. How much do you know about past Just Toys products? I think did Just Toys do the did they do the danglers or was that not them? That was them. The keychains. That was them. I think I know pretty well. I collected all the all the old keychains and and all the the cards. I think I know what this is going to be probably. I feel like this is one of the products that back in the day, everyone was like, that is horrid. Why would anyone purchase that? But having it now, I I freaking love it. I'll post it in chat now. And I want to know if you've seen it before. It's a big image. It'll take a look. Because Just Toys did put most of their like designs in the cards and stickers. And I've thoroughly looked through all the cards and stickers. But maybe it's something that just didn't pass. I've only seen one reddit post on this thing. Oh, I know this guy. I do know this guy. Dude, OK, so I have been. I have been opening up the old fat mojo sticker packs. And this is like you can get four stickers and put them together. I will go. I'll go get it. You see, that's a really cool idea. But they did not make a wait. When where did they make a poster of this? Because I have a bunch of old Just Toy posters and they did not make him in said poster boxes that I have. I don't know. I mean, the copyright's down there. Yeah, I know he's real. I got to get. I am surprised I have never seen that before. It is so meanable. Really weird. I think if it came out now, people would be all over it. Oh, yeah, I hate I hate him so much. I'll just say that right now. I hate him so much. But he's the boy. But I have a sticker album here, basically of some old Just Toy stickers, and you can basically take four stickers and fricking make him if you just put them all together. So there. So I have a sticker for every quadrant of that poster. Right. How did you find that? I don't know. It was just on eBay. It was pretty cheap, too. I mean, for its date and for its like, like, who would know about this? You framed him, too. Yeah, well, in the eBay listing, it was framed and I figured it was going to come frame frame, but no shot. eBay does not work like that. They did troll me. It rolled to them. But that was a good merchandise discussion. And now I guess I'll introduce the episode, which as I was reviewing the last episode, I realized I never really explained what a podcast was. I kind of just assumed everyone would know. I just got into it, man. Yeah, but we let's just jump right into it, you beautiful bastards. All right, explain the thing. How does it work? All right, boys, so basically for podcasts, you don't even have to watch the video. It's pretty magical, though. If you do want to watch the video, we have our face gems up. We also pop on images of what we're talking about every now and then. But I brush my hair every once in a while. Ozone brushes his hair. I mean, Underscore brushes his hair. Ozone, you could brush your hair. Yeah, I actually can't wait. It doesn't mean as much when you hear it don't look like this. Well. But yeah, if you want to listen to it audio only, that's perfectly fine with you. As for guests, we've had, Muffin was on last episode, as well as Underscore, who's returning this episode. And we also have brand new Ozone. Because we're talking about books. Currently brushing his hair. Currently brushing his hair. Are you? Are you really doing it? Yeah, I am. We just did have a segment. We were both brushing our hair, probably then. I don't have a brush. I have a knife. Don't do that. I did the staffing thing again. Stop doing the staffing thing. But yeah, this episode, we mainly wanted to focus on the books because there's been a lot of book discussions. And since yesterday, it has just exploded. It is insane how we set this up thinking, dude, there's enough book stuff, and then that cover drops, and that cover drops, and that cover drops, and then the encyclopedia. So there's a lot. So what do we want to start? Dude, actually? Actually, wait, I know where we can start. You, yeah, do it. Yeah, do it. I'm gonna put you both in the hot seats. Okay. As fanatics of Fazbear Frights and Tales from the Pizza Blacks. Oh, girls. What would you guys say is the best story and the war story throughout the two series? We have done this before, elsewhere. So this will be interesting. I do want, I mean, do you want me to go first or should you go first? What do you think? I was wrong. Oh, God, that's, this is a very tough question. Because there's a lot of stories. I will start it off because we did this before. We went, like, all of us ranked some of the, a lot of the Fazbear Frights stories. And we came to the conclusion. And I guess this isn't really a direct answer, but you'll still find this interesting that Bunny Call is the best story regardless of if it's FNAF or not. Okay. It's just a good horror story. It's because it has, like, the themes of FNAF without being directly connected. Like, ooh, Freddy Fazbear. Freddy Fazbear. It would, it would make a really good Goosebumps story. It'd make it good just to add a horror story. Okay. So that's one, that's something we found really interesting. Now it's your turn. I'd definitely say in times of worst, kids at play, just there. No, the traffic sign one. The one where a man turns into a traffic sign. Oh, could you hate that one? It's so irrelevant. I really do not like the one where the dude gives birth. Maybe that's so weird. Oh, I love that one. No, don't love that one. Yeah. In the springtrap? In the springtrap, weird, man. With a met pet. That one is actually really good up until the pregnancy or the C-section or whatever you want to call it. Can I, can I, can I quote you on that, by the way? Yeah, sure. But like, people, people like forget about the early parts of the story, which I think is really well written. It's just, that's very overwhelming at the end. So, yeah. I don't see how anyone can get turned off by that. I mean, I feel like that's why you pick up the books, you know? Yeah, yeah. I guess that is some of the best and worst. What do you think, Joni? Cause I know me and Ozone, we do a lot of book stuff. I feel like you don't generally do a lot as much book stuff. What do you think? What's the best and worst to you, Fazbear Frank's stories going on? Well, the only stories I've read are Into the Pit, To Be Beautiful, and Count the Ways. Gosh dang, I was right. I was right. Little bit of Bobby Tutz. Okay. Which we can get to later. Yeah, not even Frights. But I mean, I read those stories when the book first came out, which was like what, 2019? So it's been a little bit. Yeah. Oh my God, has it been four years? I'm gonna have like a existential crisis. Oh, it's been three in a bit. Yeah, yeah. Oh my gosh, it's been three years. I've really liked Into the Pit. If I had to rank, cause it's just three, I'll rank them. I would probably go Into the Pit, Count the Way, actually no. Probably Count the Ways Into the Pit, To Be Beautiful, for me. All right, and why did you stop reading them? Cause I think at that point, it was, I could sense there was gonna be a lot of stories, and it was also around the time where I'm like, I don't really care about keeping up to date with the lore, which was kind of why this whole book series was made, was to fill in gaps. So yeah, when the second and third and fourth book got announced, I was like, I don't want to keep up, especially cause like, I heard how weird they were getting. I will be honest, I did wane off around the seventh, and I technically haven't read every Fazer Fright story still. I just know the general plots of every one of them, so. Yeah, I think I know general plots of most. I just don't care to read them. That's fair. Some day, if you get real bored, they are good reads. I'd love to read about sea bounties and traffic signs. Dude, sea bounties is the best. I don't even know what you're talking about. It's one of my favorites, yeah. You guys being ironic. No, it's actually good. Encyclopedia just gave us a look at what sea bounties actually look like. Do you want to see? I've seen them, but I'm talking about the story. No, but you can't unacknowledge how amazing they look. Here's the thing though, like summaries are okay because, you know, you're getting a summary without reading it, whatever. But like, you don't get a lot of the context from just summaries. Like you have to kind of read them to fully understand why they do things. Like in a recent story, under construction, which was in the first Tales from the Pizza Plex, that one is like about cancer, but it's also got like other themes to it that make it seem like they're making fun of it, but they're not. So you kind of have to like, actually read them to understand why they use cancer in that way and stuff. It might be the same thing with B7 to a certain extent. We're going to talk about that later. That's going to get interesting. That one's going to be real interesting. Is under construction the one where a bunch of babies fill the streets? Yes. They're all goo babies. The goo babies? The security breach babies. And you can see like that mixed with cancer, like that doesn't sound good from the outside. Dude, throwing cancer in makes it, for some reason, so much funnier in random. Yeah, but it's really emotional when you read it. It's genuinely really well written. It is an emotional read, but if you hear a description, it sounds so goofy. Yeah. Okay, well, that's interesting. So I guess based on that, what would you guys say is better so far? Tales or Frights? I think I already know the answer. It's objectively Tales. 100th Stem. Frights feels like we're going to write a novel series, we're going to test some things, and Tales is like, okay, we know what we're doing now, let's make the best book series ever. The best book series ever. Ever, objectively ever in the entire world, best book series ever. Gotcha. Okay. Yeah. Ozone. Same feeling? Yeah, Tales. 100%. Tales. Why does it tell so? Should we break that down? It's going to bang us. Yeah. I guess they are more engaging, thrilling. Like, I guess a good example is like comparing, what was it, Felix the shark to sub-mechanophobia. Felix is like unfulfilled in this concept and sub-mechanophobia feels like it took that concept, cranked it up to 100, and it's just amazing. They took what they were doing and really honed in on the good stuff for sales. Okay. And it's like, it's also different types of horror. Like it's not just, oh, Freddy's at your door. Freddy. There's a whole range of things which we can get into as well because people say a lot of the stories aren't FNAF-y enough. And I personally don't like that. I wouldn't mind. They're still good. Yeah, I don't mind. Yeah, especially when we found Bunny Call, which is not that FNAF-y is one of the best. I mean, they don't have to be FNAF-y to be good stories. And like the real Jake as well. People love that one. It was really emotional and it has almost zero to do with FNAF. So, yeah. I think at the start of Frights, there was a lot of FNAF. Like you had Funtime Freddy, Spring Bonnie, Foxy, Missing Children. Like it was all very, and I do wonder if that was just like wrote people in. But I think as the series went on, I mean, you got a whole bunch of new characters you got. You got something like Fetch is like the next book. That's a brand new character. And then that's cool. I don't understand why people don't think that's cool for it to like branch out into new content. Yeah. New areas. I think it would depend. Cause I mean, I look at Fetch and I'm like, yo, sick dog animatronic. I look at Gumdrop Angel and I'm like, what the? Yeah. Huh? Yeah. That's fair. That's, maybe that's honestly. No, no, no. If you're going to look at a cover and be weirded out, you need to look at Friendly Face. Oh, yeah. I still keep this game. I, too, this day, hate that cover so freaking much. It's Vainy. I love that. He's Vainy. He's Vainy. I will say, a character I've grown to love now that I'm looking at all the covers is Blackbird. Dude, that creepy mother-fricker. Blackbird is a fan favorite at this point. He's so good. Just as B.B. I'm going to pull him up right now. I'm going to pull him up. I don't even care what he does in the story. He could like do something really bad and be like, that's my boy right there. My boy, Blackbird. My boy. You're rooting for him. I need so much merchandise of Blackbird. I think we talked about this in the last episode, but I think a mystery mini wave would be really neat. Okay, I was going to say, just as I thought of that, this is not a topic we put down, but do the books deserve merch? Do some of Fazper Fright's characters deserve merchandise, and would people buy it? I think that's a very question that could vary, dare I squeak. Cause I think a lot of book fanatics, like you and probably Ozone, would, I mean, if Ozone could go to a store and find them, you know, would love to pick up like mystery minis or plushies or whatever of the book characters. But I think the, sorry, go on. No, no, no, no, no, no, you, sorry. Okay. Fazper. I think, Fazker. We did go those freaking slime jars, not too off. Yeah, it's about the same. But I think in the eyes of the companies, because they're not so mainstream as some games, and you really have to go into the book to find out about these characters, you know? Yeah. I just don't think it would be worth it. I mean, even you two's has said, they don't plan any book characters, which is a little shocking to me. Cause you two's usually like does some pretty obscure things, like they're doing burn trap, then nobody, there's no merchant otherwise. Okay, I think you started off by saying like a mini set. That sounds for some reason, exactly right. Cause Fritz is a collection of stories with little individual characters. Each of them, I mean, maybe they're small, but they deserve like, you know, one mini, here's this character. And I mean, you know, not everyone's going to get a figure or a plushie, but just a mini, that's just, that just works. Just do it. Wait, what is Tales number five? Tales number five? Well, you know it's conclusion. Yeah, Bobby, that's a conclusion. Why do you ask? Cause I was going to move on to predictions for Nexie and Tiger Rock. Cause Nexie, is Nexie six? I think Nexie six and Tiger Rock is seven. That sounds right. Yeah. So I was on any thoughts about, yeah, Nexie and Tiger Rock, what are these books going to give us? Cause we know what Bobby doubts should give us, but what are those two going to do? Or could we just not know? It's hard, it's hard to tell, but I, all I remember is in Tiger Rock, we have a story about the VR booth, which has been mentioned in previous stories. Okay. So that's pretty cool. There's a melting doll on that cover and there's a tiger on that cover and that's all you really know. I wouldn't quite say that it's predicting. I think that's just observing, analyze. I said there's like, there's a VR booth, right? And we've seen that in previous stories. So it's going to connect, which is going to be nice, but that's about it. Are there any like, phasent higher ups or like anything like that? Or was that like, which, which books that in? Okay, Bobby Dott's conclusion is going to be massive, probably the biggest book yet because it's got a story about the higher ups. It's got a story possibly about Gregory and it's got the finale of Bobby Dott's. And I think those are three very good contenders. Is that all in one book? Is that all Bobby Dott's conclusion? Wow, that is the book of all time then. It is the book. The book of all time. Yeah. And it's only written by Scott and Andrea. That's cool. What is Andrea, the main writer, usually, like for most of the stuff. OK, yeah. I think it's usually her and Ellie. OK, that is really cool. I did say something so goofy, though, that I will say it right now just to put it out there and as like a prediction. I saw that next to cover and for some reason, I just said Miss Afton. And I refuse to explain myself. It's a go. I refuse to explain myself. Just a little girl. Robot. I refuse to explain myself on why. What do you guys think of people using this cover alone as quote unquote confirming Gregory's a robot? Because it's another example of look at this child. It's a robot. Like, oh, surprise. We have a robot children for years. He's not really a robot, though. Lally's not even a robot. He's just a thing. Sure. Robot children for so long. Like, we don't need more robot children to confirm that Gregory is a robot child because we know it's possible. We just need more evidence. Yeah, people are robots. People are. Now we've got people that are freaking AI. Where's this going? Yeah. Well, how about one of the most recent pieces of evidence against that? We can finally move on to the encyclopedia leaks. Ooh. We were going to talk about, will the encyclopedia provide a lot of, like, good, juicy lore? But now we have the answer. Let me find your quote. What was my? Will the encyclopedia provide? What the fuck does that mean, Kobe Bryant? And then you said a lot. I meant lore. I meant lore. Do you think it will provide then? It kind of has, honestly. It has provided. Yeah. It, OK, as far as we can tell from the pages we've seen, there's no errors. Really? There's no mistakes? I've heard the exact opposite from quite a few people. What? See, OK, there's people who say there's no errors and then there's people who don't like getting their theories de-confirmed, so they say it's an error. Actually, I was so tempted to tweet that out because there were so many people I saw who were celebrating the book saying, or heavily implying, Vanny and Vanessa are the same people. And then they were like, oh, but the book's wrong in this area. So when it says Gregory's a human, that can't be right. No, the book's wrong. We can't trust it. And it's like, what you just said, it confirmed another theory. So I. OK, look, from a non-biased standpoint, I mean, are there errors that I haven't seen that are not like it says Gregory's a human? That's not right. Is there like some errors you've seen that are non-biased? You know me. I'm so in-depth with the lore. I did see some people complain. It talked about the nightmares and them originating from Freddy Fazbear's pizza. That is weird. Yes. OK. Well, it's also that the person we play as in FNAF 4 is the crying child. When we know Michael with the Nightmare Fredbear drawing, so it's like weird. But people are saying like, oh, then the book is wrong. No, because Michael can still, like. They can both. Without being in that gameplay. The way we think it works, they can both be doing it. But the book is saying it's mostly just a crying child for some reason. So it's causing a bit of strife. But I mean, I don't think that's an error. I think like it doesn't occur. Back in FNAF 4, when that first came out, like the crying child was originally the protagonist of that, right? Yeah. And regardless of whatever's going on with Michael, he's still the one. The one you shouldn't have killed. No, not that one. Gotcha. That's a freaking one. Dude, we got to not even just talk about errors. We got to talk about the art of this book. The art is stunning. Dude, the art's astounding. Phenomenal. We've never gotten so many. It's probably mostly the human characters. The Henry drawings, cool. He looks just like the fans have drawn him for years. There were so many people in the Freddit Discord who were like, oh my god, I'm shaking. I'm screaming, which I hope they are exaggerating because it's just a 2D drawing of this fictional video game character. Dude, I hope they screamed like the kid finding the live wire Freddy plus with the Walmart. I must say though, I did scream at the crying child page. It's so crazy. The crying child page is dope. It's dope. He is a ghost. He's a little ghosty dude. And that one image of Elizabeth with baby behind. That's it. It's amazing to get just anything on a human character because the citrace. Sorry. No, yeah, the citrace. It looks so cool. I will say it's a full body shot. It's a full body. That one, there's a few drawings because it is, you know, pinky pills and Lady Fizzy. That's like, I'm not sure about that one. The one that came to mind was Elizabeth running. And if you look at her like arms proportions mixed with her body and head, it just, it looks so weird. Is it weird? It is. I mean, most of the art is really cool. Though they did give Phantom Poppet a massive hog for some reason. What does she say? Wait. Wait. I got to find it. They gave him a, or her, a abundantly noticeable bulge. No, I didn't know this. Let me find. I'm sure Ozone's tweeted that. I'm looking at the credit. I'm looking at the credit. Oh, OK. No, I see the Elizabeth proportions now. What the freak? Oh, my God. OK, I'll post both of them. I have them right here. You see the Phantom Poppet. It's also weird they call the phantoms the shadows. I was going to want to talk about that. You was going to want to talk about it? Well, dude, that is so. Why does the fan? I was looking at the shadow puppet. Why does it say? Dude, look at that thing. What the hell? What is that? Official artist, ladies and gentlemen. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. OK, I just second to breathe. Well, what I will say is funny is we got like a double page spread for Twisted Chica, who doesn't even appear in the Twisted One, and we got one page for Eleanor. We got one page with the original art. And you know what we didn't get a page of? What? Fredbear or Michael. Yeah, I don't think we've seen the last set of pages. No, they they've posted the full table of contents. Oh, my God. Is there really no Michael is no Michael? There's no Fredbear. I'm going to house that possible. They they also missed out a lot of thoughts. But Scott's Scott's keeping it close to his chest, isn't he? Hmm. Um, dude, the Elizabeth proportions are so horrible. I hate them. Now that you say it, I can't unsee it. It would vote Phantom Puppet. The one on the right. Yeah, the ones on the right are really cool. So, you know what's super weird? And I actually think like we figured out why they say Shadow Puppet and Shadow Balloon Boy. OK, sure. There is a page for Phantom Puppet, but there's a page for Shadow Puppet. There are two separate things that was like I don't know why there. The glossary says there's a shadow puppet and there's a phantom puppet. OK, but I guess the page says. What is the other way? Have they got on the shadow puppet from like the minigames? Well, here's OK. I'm not really I'm not sure. Anyways, the basic thing it looks like is that if the character in FNaF3 that was in a minigame got a phantom, there is shadow. So the puppets in a FNaF3 minigame, balloon boys in a FNaF3 minigame, mangles in a FNaF3 minigame, they have Shadow Versions. And you know what's super weird? We've had Shadow Mangle for a while. Yeah, I mean, we've had Shadow Versions of all three for a while. I don't. What do you mean? They were in the minigames. That's OK. That's exactly what I just said. Agony beings, agony. I know, but you specify the angle. We love the agony. Oh, dude, the crying child. He's crying as a ghost, black tears. It's great, which is weird, because ghosts don't cry. How do you know? Have you seen Casper cry? He's always happy. I play phasmaphobe. I think I know what I'm talking about. Yeah. And we never finished that Christmas update. All thanks to you. Why was it me? Was it my fault? Because you kept dying. Oh, cringe, like, dude, I bet you killed me. I bet you killed me. Oh, I never have money. That's a thing. I don't contribute. Encyclopedia nine out of ten. I'd say maybe ten out of ten. Wow, pretty crazy. I'd say nine. I'd say nine. It's just it's just so freaking cool. I do love how everyone switched up so fast from you look at this cover. This book's going to suck to all the leaks coming out. And they're like, I'm literally shaking right now. The cover is shaking and crying, shaking and crying. How can Scott not include Fredbear and Michael? Isn't that just like deliberately weird? That's what I mean. I feel like some characters got way too much priority over others because the two goddamn characters. We got a Dark Springtrap page, like Dark Springtrap. It's so funny. It's it's funny because the Dark Springtrap art does not match how he looks in that sister location cutscene. He is still has his pelvis in that art. That's like his main difference. It's such an obscure cutscene as well. Those are still lie. Also, you talked about Twisted Chica. I love looking at Twisted Chica's bio spot. And it says appearances, none. They should have put like FNAF Monopoly. And she's the only one that has it, even though other characters show up or like Funko Pop. FNAF Monopoly. Just doesn't know. Dude, Golden Freddy's page is so vague. It's so annoying. No, that's cool because it's he's supposed to be vague. He's Golden Freddy. You know, I guess that is. I guess that is a part of it. Did we not get a Cassidy page? Did we really not? Who? Yeah, no, we didn't. Did we not get did we not get any pages on the missing children? Did we not get an Andrew page? But you know what we did get? Well, good thing they included it. I would have been throwing, if they did, the human heads from Sister Location. I knew you were going to say that. It just says human faces or human heads in the bio. And a and little Joe and my favorite FNAF characters. What are you? OK, crazy. I have a crazy thing to pitch because I know where to take this, but I want to ask. Things says Golden Freddy's in Sister Location. Yeah, yeah, he is. Why? Where is he? Tell me, everywhere, all at once. Oh, is it because is it because Golden Freddy is mentioned in Custom Night? I mean, he's got his little little psyche, Fred Fredbear, dude. That's not Golden Freddy. Don't it's pretty good to it, man. It is. It is a golden. It is a golden Freddy. So I smoke and roll. Just just leave that out there. Anyways, dude, good encyclopedia, pretty epic. We will be copying. I will cop to a rip one apart. I'll scan it up. Oh, don't say that publicly. Yeah, don't. I like getting good assets for videos on the way. I'm paying for it. Well, but the people you distribute it to art. Should I make them pay me? Yes, or make them make a donation to Scott Cawthon. Yeah, just send him a PayPal. Anyways, I think with that encyclopedia done, we should probably talk about most recent tales. Book Top Mechanophobia. Because this book was amazing for a lot of different reasons. Don't you think? What are the stories in the book? What's the second one? I know this on mechanophobia. It's the one about the cult. Oh, yeah, the cult. Oh, and we're trying to pop up. It's so weird. It's it's personally one of my favorite stories. I really like it. What's it about? So it's about like this club called the what's it called underscore the fan club? Yeah, so basically, yeah. They have a few. No, the protagonist like doesn't go to a meeting and then like a few days later, he realizes like all of them are like possessed by something. And it's like kind of shown to be or not shown to be good. Strap, but like it's kind of implied that it's like good strap is taken over the platforms under control. These people, yeah. And then they do weird things like eat dirt and beetles. That's all weird. I do that every day. It is funny. They just pick up dirt and eat it. And this is a fan of story. Yeah, wait. So the kids who went to the club got possessed. Yes, except the main character, because he wasn't there like the they make a big point at the start that he left early one day and after that day, everybody's acting weird because whatever happened, he wasn't there for. We think that could be related to like the staff meeting in security breach where the staff were killed or whatever. Yeah. OK. My theory is that it's a subtle allegory that kids reading these fan outbooks should always skip out on school and always eat dirt. Yeah. Grow big and strong. It gets worse because they like stick needles under their fingernails and bury themselves up to their faces in the ground, in the dirt. And then they eat their way out. They eat. Yeah, that is how they got out. Actually, Angel 2.0. Oh, my gosh, dude, I can read these books. It does end with a man who is he he gets stabbed. Oh, man, he gets stabbed, make the noise, make the noise. I probably shouldn't have a knife on YouTube. Not on YouTube. Big YouTube's coming after you. Anyways, he gets stabbed with a firepoker and he explodes into Fazgu, not Fazgu agony. It's all black goo. Oh, so they're the same thing. He's made of black goo. But people, because it mentions in the story, it looks like motor oil. People took that literally and were like, oh, my God. It's motor oil. He's a robot. No, cops don't know what they're talking about. It's freaking agony. It's black goo. When you said motor oil, all I could think of was the TikTok. The motor oil comes out. It's like, I am alive. They're mortalized. Maybe it's just building up to a bendy. Oh, we will show you that clip right after this is over. It's such a classic clip. I this is going to be embarrassing, but I have this shampoo that I sometimes use. And it's very purpley. It's like a rich, deep purple. And ever since it's like some charcoal, something or whatever. But OK, but ever since watching that meme, sometimes I rub it in my hands and I do what the TikTok does. But I do it with the it's been so long. And I'm ashamed to admit it cracks me up every time. It just it's been so long. Yes. Please record that. Please, oh, please, I swear to God, please record that. I'll pay anything. Yeah, maybe YouTube school. Oh, I will. And I'll get so many views. I'll pay. I'll pay anything. What do you want? Add it to the Patreon. We don't have a Patreon. Only fans. No. Yeah. Speaking of that, by the way. Oh, Markiplier. Let's talk about the Bobby Dots. No, we're not talking about Markiplier's only fans. What is that Bobby Dots? Let's talk about the Bobby Dots. OK, OK, Bobby Dots. Well, I see on I see on your list, it says Bobby Dots. Chest reduction. This is the piece de resistance. This is the thumbnail. It says nerfed. This is the thumbnail. It was this has been planned for quite a while. So this does tie into a previous thing that is additional sub-mechanophobia changes, basically. But I love that the chest was the main focus point. And everything else is additional. So you remember back on Fred a little while ago, I think and Tom got the book as usual. Frickin nerd always getting things early. Well, and and did a reading, you know, since that reading, the current edition of the book is different. Things were changed after that reading. Do you know all those things that were changed? Well, we're not talking about that. We're talking about how you think about the actual lore. You see the connections. Changed. Wait, really? Got nerfed. She has. Dude, you don't know this. You don't know. OK. What did you say? Get the get the orb. I'll get the orb. I got the orb. He's gone. I'll post it to I need you to read this orb. I need you to read this orb. I'll read it. It's spinning too fast. I'll read it for you with an abundantly noticeable bust. Abundantly noticeable bust. She was not best. A white and gray bell button. OK, OK, you can stop. Listen, listen, listen. That's all you need to listen to the first line. With an abundantly noticeable bust is not in the current version of the book. They took her bust and they nerfed her bobbies. I hate modern day for now. This is what they took from us. Yeah, what the hell? Come on, Scott. I mean, in other news, not as important as that, there were other changes in the book that we got to talk about. They made a fricking Bobby dots. The story in general, when the dude is just running through the pizza plex, the changes made it more accurate to the current pizza plex. It is Bobby dots, regardless of the fact that it's a two parter, is the most monumental story we've ever gotten. Because it is, I'd say it's every other story you can place a bit of doubt in this one confirmed in the games. Undoubtedly, dude, it's the same pizza plex. Bobby dots in ruin. Come on, come on, Bobby dots in ruin. I hope he rose. I really think it's going to happen. That would be something that's going to happen in Bobby dots, like spoilers, obviously, in Bobby dots that it literally goes through things that were insecure. Like they go into the bathroom of the West Arcade and they come out and there's just DJ music man there and he sticks his hand in. And like it's the exact same thing to grab the dude from security breach. The same with the generators in in Moon's place. They talk about how they explain why those are theirs. Yeah, it's it's insane how accurate it is. And why are they there? Because do you want me to get into the lore of Moon? They want to do it till the or a man do Moon. He used to be in the theater, which, you know, is right next to the daycare, but they repurposed him as the daycare attendant. OK, and they tried to get rid of the Moon side of him because that was just part of the show, but they couldn't. A glitch stopped it from happening. So if the lights if the lights happen to yes, if the lights happen to go out, he will turn evil and start, you know, hurting children. So so they had to put backup generators in so no lights would go out. Now, wait a second, you know. I didn't write the book. I don't know you off. Wait, if he hurts children at the night, but there are no kids at night. So what's bad? No, the lights going off in the day. Just keep them on. Duh, dude, use a daylight sensor. Oh, yeah, I mean, just get like like some sunroofs or moonroofs, whatever. And there you go. It's always light. There's always going to be a light. No, they're too cheap for that. They're too cheap to punch a few holes in the roof. Yeah, it's really funny how like they've got this whole mega Peterplex and other Peterplexes as well, not to mention like they've got all of this. They seem to have so much cash and they just can't invest in like good lighting or anything. Yeah. God, yeah. Well, it might be because of draining power from the from underneath. Yeah, so so yeah, Bobby Dott's going to be super sick. I mean, the only stories we can really say because OK, Johnny, are you aware of the strife that we theorists go through over what stories are canon to the games or not? Are you aware of the strife? Yeah, because I heard you talk about it. I do rant about it a lot. But the point is, Frights, screw it. It doesn't matter right now. Tales, there's some stories that are connected to each other, but we don't know yet. But if you can be certain about one thing, Bobby Dott's is canon to the games. 100 percent undeniably. It's amazing. I will 50 20 freak out if I boot up a room in Dalsy and I see. Rose is a noticeable bus. Rose is a noticeable bus. Oh, the first green is just you're going to boot up. You're going to boot up just like FNAF Six, boot up a minigame. It switches rose sitting behind the desk right there. It would be really cool. He's doing like the Monica pose with her. Chin on her hands and all Bobby's out. So we should make a DDLC, bro. This OK, I'm going to hire an artist to make that. I'm Johnny, funny thought. This should have been our cosplay. I'd be down. You'd be down. I'd be down. I'll be down. I'll be down. You don't. For where? Where are you coming to? Where am I coming? Hey, yo. No, I I want to dress up as a Bobby Dott, please. Which one I want. All I want in life is for us three to be Bobby Dott's. I'm down, but I have to be Rose. You have to be Rose. I love you. Gemini. Gemini. Fine. Wait, I'll be the only one. Fine. She's great. Don't you think? I am not like all of it is not my spare animal. Dude, which which personality test? Which Bobby Dott are you? That's that's got to be some like Buzzfeed FNAF quiz. I'm going to make that. I'm going to know I am I know I am. Boys, we will be doing that. We have to. Yeah, that'd be amazing. That actually works out pretty well. Dressing up. Yeah, sort of blue. And if we can't do it, IRL will just set up for the next episode when Ozone and your guys are on here again. Yeah. So have you only read Bobby Dott's of this of this book? That's the only one you've read. I didn't finish it. But yes, you didn't even finish Bobby Dott's. No, I wanted to get to the part, didn't you? Because I got bored. Give it a stack. Dude, I got to the part. I was like, look, type, men. It sounds like you have a life. I do have a life. But you're you're depressed because you don't have the addition with the noticeably abundant. But yes, OK, we talked about this a bit in episode one. But I did reach out to end Tom, who got that early copy that has that quote. He wasn't willing to give it up fair to him completely. You know, his decision gift. But he did say that there might be other copies out there. And it is my bucket least bucket list for life to get a copy of that. I will not rest. I will not die. I will be blessed when I have that copy. That will that is what will make you happy in life, getting that book. That. Today's my simp and I guess I'm going to see my reply to YouTube's news. What did you say to YouTube's news? Huh? Well, there was a silhouette. This is completely off topic. There's a silhouette of a new you to figure. I know what it was. I know what it was now. We will still be coughing. Do you want to tell us about said YouTube figure? YouTube figure? Yeah, so it was a new YouTube figure of a bunny girl. And everyone assumed it was going to be that one. Oh, like the anime bunny girl. And it turned out to be Amaranth, which I said in the group chat, they should have done her in the bird mask because that would have been hilarious. Yeah, coincidentally enough, you still know Amaranth enough to cop that. I'll keep the stack regular Amaranth and Joyer. She's live at some pretty good hours that no other streamers live. So when you're bored, he is booed up the site, you know, dude. Got to tune in one of these times. You should. Anyways, what do you guys think about that third graphic novel collection for Fazbear Frights? Getting back on topic. It looks so good. Featuring your favorite character. When we wrote this, what? Your Ralpho Ralpho Ralpho. OK, when when we wrote this list, all we had was the cover because it had just gotten revealed with the cookbook. But now we have three pages. The cookbook. We'll talk about the cookbook. It had just been revealed with the cookbook cover. But now we have three pages from it or so. And it is so good. It looks so good. It's by who did the fourth closet. Yeah, Deanna Camaro. Yes, she's such good art. It's so good. She's very good. And I love that story. I'm so happy it's not done like my other favorite story out of stock. Like a snap in the back, which, unfortunately, got the short end of the stick. Oh, yeah, dude, I just remembered the push up. Chase, what do you look like? I'm just glad. I think it's cool. It's a good little dude. I like hide and seek. And I'm glad it got good art this time. You know what I like in the previews? What do you like on the second panel? The little spray of shadow? Yeah, he's a shadow bunny. I was really confused by that, though. I was like, is this how shadow body is being portrayed? And then I got the full context of it. Yeah, he's a little chibi dude. Yeah, he's a little chibi dude. That'd be hilarious. What section of the book is this? Do you guys know? Because I didn't know. Probably like it's it's pretty early on, but maybe like a little way through. It's when he gets into the actual arcade machine and he's like going through the areas, like trying to find shadow Bonnie. He's going to fail this game, and then he's going to freaking destroy it. Yeah, damn. He's so he takes it. He takes a baseball bat to all this stuff. I don't know if it's a baseball bat, but I know he destroys this game. She's. That's not good. Yeah, it is destruction of public property. Also, he freaking works there. So but then we've got but then we've got the dream scene as well, where his back is getting stitched. Oh, dude, I hate it. It is stitching it to his back. Gross. It's grim. It's I just can't wait to see shadow Bonnie coming out of his back. That's going to be sick. Yeah. Yeah, I'm very excited about now. Do we know what the other story is going to be? Yes, it is hide and seek. And well, hide and seek. Bunny call other ones hide and seek. Bunny call. What's the third one? Surely I have it. I'm a Twitter somewhere. No, no, no, no, no. I can't remember any of the stories because well, we really don't know unless it's said because these are like mixes of just random stories. So often step closer. Bunny call hide and seek. They're all close. Step closer is going to be real cool. Actually, we're skipping a lot of stories. Yeah, it's a little. Are we are we skipping? Now, what I ask is, are we skipping the unimportant ones? They skipped count the ways. They skip. Oh, my God. OK, never mind. Yeah, have we skipped the real Jake yet? Are we not there yet? They're going to they're going to skip the real Jake, too. Because, I mean, I looked over like the ultimate guy thoroughly because, you know, we what? What is so funny? Sorry, this is so off topic, but the meatly just made a mascot horror game where his sock puppet is the monster. It looks so stupid, but I love it so much. Oh, my God. I'll have to check this out afterward. Sorry, go on. Oh, my gosh, I see it in my server. What meatly storage world are you kidding me? I want to play so bad. Oh, is it supposed to be making a fan ban? Yeah, this is making fun of it. He said it took him one day. Oh, it looks better. Anyways, look about them stories that they're skipping. I that's a crazy image. OK, I have combed over the ultimate guide because it gave us a lot of like unseen art of Fazer Frights and the only stories that don't have art are some of the very, very latter ones, which I can understand because, you know, maybe time crunch, they just couldn't give like really late in Frights, like book 11 stories, art. But two, they were very early on that didn't get art where the real Jake and the man in 1280. There's no art yet for them. And they're probably going to get skipped as graphic novels, unfortunately. I'm really surprised we didn't get character profiles for like stuff like that in the character. It's like a video. Yeah. We got I mean, we got very cool. We got William mentioned as in the man in 1280. But the problem is, it's just like always see a scrap trap on the page. There's no like picture of what he would look like or anything. So it just kind of sucks to to miss out on all of that. It's weird. They did Henry art, but not William. We you're right. We don't have like human games, William. You know, after this conversation, it's gone from a nine out of 10 to an eight out of 10. Oh, no. Oh, no, that wasn't the point. Damn, the more we keep talking about it, the more it goes down. Yeah, because I again, I think it had a lot of potential. I think a lot of the stuff is really cool. Like the art is incredible, but I didn't miss out quite a lot of content. I guarantee you we will probably get an updated edition of this book after like Ruin and Tales is over. Yeah, they'll just have to throw. You don't think so? No, no. Why not? Because I mean, there's they already did a bulk of characters, including all the main characters. So I think advertising it of like, yo, sorry, we forgot about Andrew and Jake. He was a new book. I don't see them doing that. Well, I mean like new animatronics. It doesn't have to be the book specifically. It's for the reason that we're going to get all the circus characters and balloon characters in Ruin hypothetically. And we're going to get, you know, some new characters in Tales. They're going to do some sort of updated edition, and maybe it'll have some changes unless I bet it will happen. Unless they do it Freddie Fowle's way, where they just drastically increase the size of the book and include all the past content, I think. Which I think would be a very big cop out. I think I think they'll do it, but not this. I don't like the Freddie Fowle's updated edition. It just kind of felt weird because it was, I guess it was just out of the gun. The thing about this character encyclopedia is like, we've got so many pages for the special delivery characters, like the skins. And we don't need. What are you talking about? I need to know more about dude in. Well, what I'm saying is they could have listed the skins. They could have like listed the skins on the like individual character pages. Like, yeah, they could have just done like one big page of like, here's this endos all of all of his skins because they just don't matter that much. But they did include them very specifically. Did Endo 01 get a page? I well, here's the thing. I know Darkwater Barrett Endo got a page. Well, I wasn't quite my question. Thank God. Darkwater Barrett Endo. Wait, Flamethrower Barrett Endo? And yeah, I think I don't know actually just know my boy. I wish I love Flamethrower Barrett Endo. He's classic. I asked because I saw the page for Endo 02 and he had some kooky art. He did have some kooky art. It was super cool. Sorry. No, I'm still talking to you. So I'm surprised they didn't include like the skin law like you said on the school. Yeah, yeah, I'll like, dude, dude, I miss the skin law. Yeah, I wish they included that. It's crazy. It's not like, oh, yeah. Flamethrower Endo burnt Springtrap and now it's Flaming Springtrap. And he was going to be used to make a pizza plex. Me when the function noble. Listen, me, when me, when the character encyclopedia confirms all my AR theories. If that happened, would you make another video talking about the lore of FNAF AR? I would have to. I would be obligated morally, socially, psychologically obligated to do it. That'd be great. Is that still your most viewed video? Yes, absolutely. It's not a good legacy. It's really not. Speaking of goaded videos, Ozone, when that cookbook comes out, I expect you to make every recipe. Oh, I'm going to. Don't you think Muffin would do that? Muffin will. Why are you expecting Ozone to do it? Because he's done cooking streams. Oh, I missed him. Yeah. So I'm hopefully getting new for that soon. Oh, OK. So I'm going to be by myself. I'm going to be living by myself and I'm going to make so many cooking videos. You can you can do more in your wide open, your wide open, like by yourself, you don't have to be fricking quiet when people are like another British YouTuber, Arcadendo. Hopefully we're going to like we're going to meet and we're going to make videos together. Oh, you guys can be flatmates. Yeah. No, I mean, now you say it. I was just curious. I don't know if you meant that by meeting up. No. Be flatmates, do it. For some reason, I thought you said be flat like the musical note. Be flat. Boom. You could you could form like the phase clan, but for FNAF, FNAF clan. Since it's still FNAF, you can still have the phase look. The break was fine. Well, the Brit, I mean, I'd say the Brits have been running FNAF YouTube for a while now. Remember the old days with Ape It, Ryan and Daco and Raz and all that? Raz isn't British, is he? He's Scottish. Whoops. Cancelled once again, two F's in a row. Sorry. What do you guys think of like New Age FNAF YouTube? That's a loaded question. That is a very loaded question that's probably not best for right now. I love. You know what? We should. You say it. You say what you love. I love how everyone nowadays has terrible past and nothing but drama. Johnny, we should actually save this question. We should save it up for NextPod, where we talk to someone who's technically in New Age YouTube, who is a part of it. New Age FNAF YouTube. Don't you think? Sure. Let's let's let's try that. That's that's a very mysterious teaser. Well, I mean, we. True, just to answer it for this episode, though, I think it's crazy how different it is nowadays compared to even just a couple of years ago. Oh, yeah. One of my favorite things is how. And I mean, I know Ozone, you started to do something similar. I'm not going after you or anyone. But I love how every single FNAF content current nowadays is doing FNAF news, whether it doesn't have to be videos, but even just like community posts or stuff like that. It's like everywhere I look, I feel like, especially since Kane stopped doing it, everyone's like, you know, taking the torch and be like, yes, it's my time to shine. Muffin did like a community post. I saw that on my recommended. It was like, yeah, I guess everybody does do it, don't they? I I do it with book stuff, because I feel like a lot of people kind of need to know. And like, especially if they're like only following me for like like, what's going with the book? I don't know. I don't know. That's my mentality on it, I think. I just I think I'm not going to. I'm not going to do news or like merch stuff. Like, you're clearly like the leading FNAF news person. Place, right? What? But like, yeah, I'm very book specific. And it doesn't make sense for your community. I don't do any FNAF news. Don't think you can talk about. Do what if I did FNAF lore news? What does that even mean? It means more news. Hey, guys, FNAF news just came up with a new theory. Could Freddie Bansbury actually be a baby? Tune in in two months from now when I've got a video out. Listen, what I mean is new thing drops. Nobody has to look at it, because I'll just give them. What's the thing? What's the thing? What's the thing? Hypothetical game slash book slash whatever the freak. I don't care. OK, so that. What? I'm so confused. I'm going to stop talking now. OK. Fumbled the idea. He did fumble the bag. Gusting. I have a question, though. With all these leaks going around, how do you guys feel? Because I know there are some people, again, won't name names who absolutely hate when people get books early and show them off. I'm usually 50 50, like I don't mind these new leaks. But I think the fact that they posted so so many pages is a little absurd. But I'd love to know what you guys think, especially with actual books like Tales from the Pizza Plex and the stories. I want to ask before just like getting in that, what's the legality of like posting pages like that? But I do not kind. Well, I mean, just just in general, like before or after, I don't know, like, is there any legality to it? I am not entirely sure. I mean, you know, it's like if you have the book, you have the book. And you can just show it. I'm sure there's something against posting the actual pages of the books rather than like summaries or live readings where you're not specifically showing the book itself. But I think usually it does need to be like there's a reason why the FNAF books have an official audio book reader. I don't know her name, but she's done like almost every single book, I believe. Like, there's a reason why that's official and you have to pay for that. Because I was always looking at like the old Andy Matronik silverized reading that's up on YouTube. It's the entire book and you can just listen to it. Does it have the screenshots of the pages? No. If you don't use the pages, is it legal? OK, I know this is something Ozone is like had to deal with. Yeah, this is a very big thing because I did use to put the words on the screen. I will admit that, but I have recently taken those off. So like there are legal problems with that. Definitely. OK. But even just audiobooks is kind of iffy still because you're still kind of putting it all out there for free. Yeah, I don't know. It's a weird situation. Huh, that is super weird. It does get into a weird legal gray area where you just don't know what's really going on because this Andy Matronik book exists, but you technically shouldn't do it. But I think at the end of the day, if usually I'd imagine to be very unlikely for any like legal action to be taken. Definitely. Yeah, like I'm sure I look up on YouTube like yeah, I'm seeing so many audiobooks to like Harry Potter, which is heavily copyrighted works because it's such a popular IP. Yeah, I feel like I feel there's also no way to avoid this sort of stuff, especially with leaks like it's going to happen. If you search for that audiobook up on YouTube, the first thing is Andy's video. The second thing is Ozone's channel. I hope you're happy about that. I mean, I think Ozone was the main person that did audiobooks. Why do you do that? I've been thinking of doing or trying some audio book stuff. I think I got a good voice for it. You have a very good voice for it. I've been thinking about stopping. Oh, well, then, you know what, you stop, I'll pick it up. Pass on the torch. I don't OK with that. I want to do an entire stitch rate one. I think that'd be fun. It could be interesting. I think we're OK. We were. Yeah, with with the leaks with the leaks. Yeah, we were like, I feel like a lot of people are upset about them, especially like the tales on the Peterplex leaks, because it kind of locks them out of the community for a period of time, especially when you're like a theorist and you don't want the book to be leaked, you just want to read it for yourself. I feel like that's a big thing. Is it two opposing mindsets where I want to know the Lord, but I don't want to know it before it's officially released, basically. Yeah. Yeah. OK, moral dilemma. Because I think if you get it early, it's through someone else. So you don't have the experience of, you know, getting a job. And as I was saying before with under construction, like we got the summary of it, like, why is cancer there? And then you read the story for yourself and you realize, like, that's quite unsettling. Yeah, because I mean, I will say with dark rooms, me and Ozone, we like to look at the leaks in Kinsaik. Don't like to look at the leaks. So we do have some episodes where it's like me and Ozone giggling like the girls in the background, because we know what's up and and those two just kind of waiting it out. And we DM after every episode and they're like, OK, this is what this is what's happening, because we know the stuff. Because also we we knew what happened in Felix the Shark, like six months before the book actually fully released. Jesus. Oh, my God. Yeah. And we talked about it and we were like, wait, what do we talk about? This was like stuff on six months ago. Have you listened, either of you, but mostly Ozone, I think, to doco summaries of the books? I've listened to one or two. Never. No, I don't touch those. OK. I was going to ask what you guys think of those summaries, because I think that those videos are how the majority of the FNAF fan base gets to know these books. So they're OK. They're just OK. He misses details, of course. Does he miss details? OK. Like, I'm not expecting him to be a hundred percent on everything, but like, yeah, I feel like if they're good, they're good, because people do watch them and they're up to date with the books. That's that's fine. But like I am still in inaccuracies, you know. Yeah, that's why I would be pretty worried if most people are getting them from doco. It's like, I mean, I mean, even if it was just me or anyone, you know, everyone's going to this person's summary, anyone's summary can be flawed. Anyone, somebody can be really. Oh, yeah. And if they are just taking it from there, I would be worried that some people just do not have the full picture in a way. OK. But yeah, just go get the books, man. He's true. Awesome. That's so good. I did see I went to Barnes and Noble because I wanted to see if they the off chance they had the encyclopedia early. That's what I did yesterday with my maltrip, too. Yeah, I did. I did see one of the bendy books. And I was like, I keep forgetting. I feel like FNAF started this craze of every indie game now, just getting a book series. But he has a really hello neighbor. Oh, the hello neighbor ones are apparently terrible. I'm not shocked. You say bendy's are good. Yeah, Johnny, you don't understand what I. You don't understand what I just did. I just heard you say you went to Barnes and Noble to look for the book and got and just saw a penny book. I pogged, got up, opened my door, went outside and got the bendy book that I bought at Barnes yesterday. Which one? The illusion of living. I bought it. Oh, that's not the one I saw. I we both went there, didn't get the encyclopedia, saw a bendy book. I was contemplating getting it, but then I realized I wouldn't much like the FNAF books never read it. Yeah, I might not read a losing of living for a while. But yeah, I think it's so fun. I mean, on the topic of hello neighbor slightly, I keep seeing they keep posting clips of their animated show. And I just can't imagine there being an audience for that. Oh, my God. Who's logging on to secret neighbor to watch the show? I feel like even the most diehard fans wouldn't care. Yeah, no, definitely. I don't the Velma show. The reason we were the reason we came out. There are many things about like, who would watch this? Like, who is the team that I believe it was the most low, poorly rated animated show on like rotten tomatoes or something. It was like one point four out of ten. Yeah, it was brutal. Yeah. My gosh. But also, that's one of the shows that I have not watched it full disclaimer. But I've heard it like the people making it actively crap on the Scooby-Doo fan base and the characters in it. And it's like, why? Like, what is with studios nowadays getting the rights? I piece that they actively hate. Same thing happened with Halo. The animation industry right now is is a whole nother just can of worms because I don't know if anybody watched it, but Inside Job just got canceled on Netflix. I heard about that. You know what? This happened. I love Inside Job. It gave me flashbacks to when Infinity Train got canceled. Dude, my favorite animated shows just keep getting canceled. And I'm so tired of it. They're so good. Damn. But who knows, you know, eventually when that Fazbear Fritz Fnaf Netflix show gets green. Oh, please. It's like how freaking Goosebumps got turned into a show. That'd be so cool. Did either of you watch my recent FNAF movie Blumhouse video? Not a consistent Johnny Blux watch. I recommend that's unfortunate. Quick tale, they are Blumhouse, who for those people who may not know, are making the FNAF movie, are looking to merge their studio with James Wan Studio, which is atomic monster. And with that merger, they want to produce double the movies way more streaming shows. And I mean, I'm just saying they greenlit a Megan, too, after only the, you know, Internet storm that was the trailer reaction. So maybe if the FNAF trailer pops off, we can expect the FNAF to one house FNAF show or a FNAF show. When do we get the FNAF show, dude? And the doco gets. Be like, I know you did this, like, five years before us, but. I actually really hope it doesn't. Sorry. Sorry. I don't think it's happened. I hope there's a. Well, I think there's a big enough like fan base wanting the like FNAF series and FNAF movies. Absolutely. Like it's it's a big thing to go into. And I think they could do it really well. How's it not a FNAF con yet? Always wondered that. A FNAF con. How's it not a FNAF convention? I feel like they wouldn't have enough stuff there. Maybe they could have a live re-enaction of the bite of it. Pretty fast, but they have a Fredbear head that you can like put your face into. Oh, that would be really cool. Well, I feel like there would someone would purposely which is why, like, you know, you know what? You know, I actually I go through a cycle of thinking why is there not an IRL FNAF location to someone will die? So that's the circle of how that. Yeah, that's the circle of how that works. Someone will die. If anything, IRL FNAF happens. But it would be kind of funny. You said that as a joke, but that's probably an actual reason. Oh, I'm sure it is. Is this is this why the Ghost Kitchens, the FNAF Ghost Kitchens got shut down? Big sad, by the way. No ordering Freddy Fazbear's pizza. Big sad, no pizza. It's all gone. It sucks. I would have ordered that so much. I hope it's just like on hold and it's not actually canned. Yeah, I'm wondering what happened with that. We'll never know. I'm going to I'm going to go to America just to have a Freddy Fazbear's. Just to order from Fredbear. I am so freaking hungry now. Well, how about we do this? I think we've got one last topic I'm looking at on the list. Yeah, which could be a pretty in-depth one. So it could be our last one. Needing the books to solve the game lore. Oh, wait, we did actually miss something else that was the very first one on that list, you see? We never we never talked about the B7 cover. Oh, yeah, the B7 cover. To need I pull it up. Someone talk about it. Yeah, so we've already had a story in the series called B7 and we've had the story. We've like we've read it. It's pretty good. But recently we've had a cover pop up out of nowhere. That is literally a robot kit. Like you'll you'll put it on screen. Won't you, Johnny? Yeah, it's right there. It's right. It doesn't have a book number. It says tales from the pizza plex. Like, what is this? This is an anomaly. Yeah, it doesn't have the number, but it is the story. But the story is already out, but it's purple. But what's going on? Why is there a foot? Oh, what are those grippers doing? Dude, that's the worst part of this whole thing. That was right. That foot. All I can think of is that wholeiplier clip. He's like, I'm going to get all up in those tootsies. That's exactly what this cover is. Here's the thing. I don't think we know 100% if this is Tales 8 because it doesn't have the number eight. Yeah, if this was Tales 8, that would mean that this is a B7 part two. But it can't be because it's got the same name. It does just say B7. Yeah, that's what's that's what's a conclusion. Can I throw something out? Do it. Are the authors the same as Haps? Andrew. Is it seven in Haps? Is that it? I just mean the book of Haps, Tales number two. I have an idea. What's your idea? Wait, he's going to steal my idea. You know in the, you know in the Fath of Frights how there was an original breaking wheel cover? He stole my idea! Yeah, we all had the same idea. You're fine. Nope, you didn't say it. I had it too. Nope, you didn't say it. Keep talking, nerd. Bandwagoner. Me? Ozone, you're a nerd. Which nerd? Okay. You. Yeah, I saw on Twitter someone was like, Oh, so the breaking wheel cover got rejected, but this one got accepted? I like to. It's probably why. I like to imagine it was scrapped because of the foot. It's so horrible. I'm going to be all up in those feet. Oh yeah, if you just blow out the foot it'll be fine. Yeah, they didn't have to add the foot. It adds nothing. It just fills space that could have been left empty. I will say something super interesting. You said B7 was a good story. I will say I am super uncomfortable with that story. It is nothing but mental illness. Yeah, that is what the story is, and it makes me so freaking uncomfortable, but seeing this cover somehow makes it less uncomfortable. My favorite thing was when FNAF fans did what they do best and jump to conclusions and assume it was about like some transphobia topics, and the author herself had to come out and say, Absolutely not. Yeah, that's so horrible. So good job FNAF fans, you're dumb. Yeah, we did it on a small scale with like why is this story talking about cancer? We did it on a big scale with why is this story like a trans allegory? It's freaking not. We just harassed an author for it. They made good stories. Yeah, they had them tootsies. This story was terrifying because of just like the way it describes this person falling to mental illness, and it is really terrifying for the what you think in your mind about it. And I guess getting an image to go with it makes it a little less scary. But the image isn't really connected to the story. Yeah, that's why it's weird. Is that not a character in the story? Well, it's the main character. It's just not something they do. What do you mean? They don't grab up on those feet? They could hypothetically look like this, but they don't. They're a human that gets weird robot implants and stuff, but they don't look this dead. I would say it looks more similar to that Lady Fizzy image that we had that's boy on the hallway. I'm pretty sure that's what it was for. Yeah, that's why the odds that this is not for the original B7 story goes up because this thing on the cover looks like the main character, but after the ending, in the ending, dude just throws himself in a trash compactor. This looks like what would happen afterwards. I mean, it does have like muscles and veins still and teeth. Yeah, but that's so weird. And there was no fit in the story either. Damn. You know, they probably got rid of the cover because they didn't want to be sued for false marketing. How do we know someone bought the book just for the fee and not for the FNAF character? It's about to only fast. Dude, the Bobby Dot's fee though. Dude, all right. You were going to do the very last topic and I was like B7 covers. Yeah, and then you were like, no, it's my show now. So what do you guys think? Do we need the books to solve the lore? Should we need the books to solve the lore? Why we need the books to solve the lore? I stunned everyone. You said that and I thought, do you wear wigs? Will you wear wigs? That's not what I was thinking about. You ever thought that you ever seen that kid? No, I was doing the Infinity Ward joke where Drax was like, oh, do you want better? Why is Gamora? Okay. That was my joke. You know what? Objectively, we need the books. We do technically need the books somewhat. Should be there. I think, yeah, it's a tricky one. I think that the story of Five Nights of Fridays is kind of clear in the games. If you want the extra lore, you want to dive into what's actually going on, the books are there for you, and I think that's really good. If we take the best example of a story that, like we said earlier, 100% canon Bobby Dott's, technically, you don't need it to know what... It is a prequel to Security Breach, and if you want to make a timeline, you're going to need it to just fit in there somewhere maybe to explain some, but other stuff, no. And I mean, I guess you could say, like, the Stitch Raid, we like to think if it's in the games, it's the merger, it's the glue between, you know, Ultimate Custom Night and VR. And at that point, you do need it. You need it to know how, you know, William goes from Ultimate Custom Night to being a virus in VR. So it kind of does suck in a way that you do need them. I also think it asks more questions than it solves, you know? Yeah. I mean, when it comes to a story, we have so many stories where we're like, is Eleanor in this one? What is Eleanor? If she's in the games, which we think the Stitch Raid might be, what the frick is she? Where'd she come from? It does make a lot more. Yeah. And you can't visualize them, because it's all book. A lot of the things you can quantify in the games, you have images, but Frights and Tales is so strapped for, like, actual graphics. You just don't know what's going on. That coupled with how things look in graphic novels, they look inconsistent to some of the art, you know? Right. We spoke to Anthony Marsh Jr., who was one of the graphic novel artists. And he was talking about how a lot of the art is down to creative freedom. So it's not under Scott's eyes or whatever. They gave some input, but mostly it's like, have the pendant more noticeable in this shot. It's not like, this is why the pendant is whatever. It's weird. It's a weird process. Interesting. I have one last question. Actually, I just thought of it. With Tales books confirmed to still be going on throughout the rest of this year, with what seems to be about eight-ish confirmed, do you think we'll get up to the number that Frights had? And do you think at the end of Tales, they'll keep doing books? How could we get more books than Tales? What answer do you want? I want your earnest answer. I think they'll do 12 Tales books, like they did 12 Frights. Wow. You think they'll do a bonus inside a box set? Full of scrap stories. Really, do they want to do 11 and just not end on a round number? I don't know. It is tricky. I feel like, unfortunately, they probably are going to continue. But they must know there's so many books, like everybody's going to be able to keep up. It's like, when do I retire? You know. I'll make a prediction. I'm going to divert, I'm going to divulge it. That's not the word. You got this big word. You know big words. I do not think there could possibly be as many Tales books as there are Frights books. I do not think they would do that. Maybe that's just what I want because I don't think we're... If Tales is the better Frights, you're going to not need as many books to tell this good stories. So maybe it'll be a bit more saturated, a bit more not just excessive. I feel like Frights got kind of repetitive by the end. Book 7 and I was out. Some of the tropes, yeah. I don't know. I mean, I would love personally. There's maybe they do it, maybe they wouldn't. I don't know what Scott's thinking. I would love another full-on novel. I want another... I miss the trilogy. I miss the trilogy, too. I want a Five Nights at Freddy's book that's not a collection of stories. Let's go back to the basics. I don't know how it would work. How would it be in a different timeline? Would it be in the games? I don't know. Maybe a security breach version of the original trilogy. Could be neat. Yeah, something. What were you going to say? Me? Yes, you... I was going to say, would you want it to be a new cast of characters? Or would you be interested in seeing like what... Obviously Charlie can't continue, but like John and Jessica and like all those characters would get up to. I think that story's done. They're pretty much done, yeah. But I just had a thought that it would be cool because we know the trilogy's in a different timeline, whatever. Maybe these big books shouldn't be set in the games. Only little short stories to add a little extra. A great place for Scott to take maybe an entire novel is there are six, I think, six endings to Security Breach. One of them is Game Canon. Take one of those endings and make a novel trilogy around it. I think that's possible, right? Can't you have that as your starting point? I can only just imagine it being like one of those fanfics where Vanessa is like the adopted mom of Gregory and Glamrock Freddy is like the dad. They got the head? They're just carrying the head around? Yeah. It's the hilltop ending where they got to go fight like Fazen or whatever. The only issue I can see with that is I feel like it would probably complicate things with people thinking, alright, which one's actually the right ending? That's fair. Unless it's very clearly outlined which one is Canon. Honestly, that's fair. People would get more confused about that. That's why you've got to make it clear it's set in a different timeline. Like the novel trilogy. As much as I love the books and I know other people love the books too, I feel like they could just bring it to the big screen. Like you said, the Netflix, Fazen with Fights, TV show, whatever. Stuff like that would be so cool because a lot more people would be able to see that as well. Not many people are interested in reading. It's super easier to turn on the show. Yeah, exactly. So I think that would be a really good place to go if, like, Freddy and Friends on Tour was really good. Yeah, that was great. More stuff like that. The movie will probably be, like, one of the biggest pull-ins for the franchise ever. Like, it'll have the most reach because a movie just has the most reach. More than a game, more than a book. It has so much reach. I did also... I did good. I just double checked because I wanted to make sure I got the streaming service right. I was a bit wrong in the article where it talks about Blubhouse's merger. It says... Oh. And it wants to make another slate of Horriflex for Peacock. So... Not quite the Netflix I was saying. That's not right. Not Peacock. TV show either way, yes. I don't know. That'd be neat, though. I'd like that. Yeah. Is that it? Is that all the topics? I think that is it. Any last-minute... Dude, you said Peacock and I just flashed back to Quibi. Uh, why? That short-lived just... I have no idea. That short-lived... What was it? Just show... The app. That fricking died off quick. With Mr. Chance, the rapper. What? You've never seen that ad? It had an ad where there a whole joke throughout the entire ad was that they said his last name was the rapper. So whenever he got introduced, it was like Chance. It was like, yeah, Mr. The Rapper. And it was like... It's so funny. I love when six-year-old people make apps for teens. Yeah, it would suck to get a financial on something like Peacock. Just because of how small it would be. That'd be so funny. But yeah, I think that's it. Sorry, dippledge. Yeah. Ozone, anything else you want to add? Subscribe to Johnny Block's. He's true. Big shell. Yeah. The brand new FNAF podcast taken over the internet, dare I say. Shut up. We'll not need any other FNAF podcast ever. Ever. So I'm going to die one day. Buy us out. True. We can do a merger. Just like Blumhouse will do a merger. The Block's Talks in Dark Rooms. There we go. Yeah, have fun with that. I know you want that. That would be so great. The Dark Block's podcast. I'm not doing this. I don't know about that one, though. Yeah, thank you for having me on. You're welcome. It's just enjoyable. Next time, we'll all be in costume. All ready to rock. Ready to go. I'm so excited. I don't think we've checked with that for the next guest. No, I mean, the three of us. The three of us. Dude, next Halloween cosplay time. Should we write it down for Halloween? Yeah. Please. We got to make a list of ideas. Stand there, look out for that. Got to list it up. Damn. I will actually do that. I will actually too. Okay, I'm planning it right now. I'm just going, you cannot back out. We are both in. I know I've tried to back out of the other things. You have tried to back out. The bits go too far sometimes. I don't think about it. They start off as bits, but then they become reality. And then it's like existential crisis causes you to freak out. I will think about it. It is funny that the two cosplays we have planned right now. Similar themes. Yes. Very similar themes. All right. That's got to be it. Bye. That's what's going on.
